As an educational institution, we at The Skyline View understand how hard budget cuts can hit. Although community colleges haven’t suffered as much as larger schools, we’re still feeling the squeeze.

We’re happy to see activities like the March on March – a huge march in Sacramento aimed towards bringing attention to the budget cuts and to try to stop the government from cutting education.

Such steps are important in getting the average person to look up and take notice – schools are suffering. And when schools suffer, so does the quality of education.

The people who have to decide what to cut understand that cutting education is akin to tying the noose around your own neck. Cutting education places less stock in the future generation, and that means that as a whole, we are less equipped to deal with a crisis like the one we’re in right now.

For now, budget cuts may be a necessary evil. The money, after all, simply isn’t there, and there aren’t a lot of options on where to cut funding from to make ends meet.

Downward spirals like this are hard to avoid, but we at The Skyline View feel that the March on March is a giant step in the right direction. Hopefully, we can see it mirrored in other organizations in the months and years to come.

After all, banking on your education is the only way to ensure that your children, and their children, are the “best and brightest” to provide for the glowing future you’re counting on them for.
